Descendants of James O'Boland


60. MAUREEN THERESE6 BOLAND (JOSEPH WILLIAM5, THOMAS E.4, JAMES P.3, JOHN N.2, JAMES1 O'BOLAND) was born June 27, 1955 in St. Paul, Minnesota. She married STEPHEN BRENNAN February 15, 1985 in St. Paul, MN at St.Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church, son of PAUL BRENNAN and MARY. He was born March 20, 1956.

Notes for M
AUREEN THERESE BOLAND:
      Maureen was adopted when she was 3-1/2 years old and today we wonder how great was the shock for her to have to be moved around at such an age. She graduated from Hill-Murray High School. She worked at a local nursing home as a nursing aid and later bore a child who is our first granddaughter, Erin. She later took Nurses training and became a LPN working at St. John's Hospital. It was during this period of her life she met Steve Brennan.
      Steve and Maureen married in 1985 and they had three children, Brigid, Sean and Colleen who were twins. Erin was adopted by Steve shortly after the marriage, which made Maureen and Erin very happy. Shortly after the twins were born Maureen went back to college (she could see there was going to be a need for her to work) and four years later graduated with her degree in Social Work from the College of St. Catherine. They lived on the East Side of St Paul and in 1994 they separated and then divorced a few years later.
      The separation years were difficult for the family and having two homes for the younger children to go to brought more difficulties. The divorce and annulment has brought closure to both Steve and Maureen. Maureen is currently working within the Latino community for a Latino agency, La Familia Guidance Center. She has worked for a number of agencies since her graduation, but has always worked with children and adolescents. She is now back in college studying for her Master's degree in Social Work.

61. MICHAEL PATRICK6 BOLAND (JOSEPH WILLIAM5, THOMAS E.4, JAMES P.3, JOHN N.2, JAMES1 O'BOLAND) was born July 17, 1956 in Sauk Center, Minnesota. He met KATHY OCH, daughter of EMMETT OCH and SHIRLEY ROSE. She was born October 30, 1958.

Notes for M
ICHAEL PATRICK BOLAND:
      Michael was adopted at the age of 3-1/2 years of age. It is impossible for one to know what might have been going through his mind at that age. We look back now and see other kids that age and think it had to be very difficult for us all.
      He got his high school diploma via GED as he didn't finish school at Hill Murray where he attended through his 10th year. Mike suffers from we feel is "FAS" or Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. He has not been able to work all of his adult life and stay with it. His biological parents, grandparents were alcoholics and so is he.
      He has been in and out of many scrapes in his life and seems to still keep going. He was in a AA half way house for over a year and seemed to be doing well but broke away from it and has been into more situations the past 3 years.
      He met and fell in love with Kathy Och (pronounced Oak) , years ago and they had a child, Joshua but they never married. Kathy went out to California and married Jim Frenken and they are together yet today. Michael and Kathy have not communicated in many years.
